Default quick pond enquiry re electrics

My pond pump has given up the ghost, so I went out and bought a new

requirement about who installs/ repairs pond pumps or rather home
electric's now? My brother and I put the pump in about 12 years ago
and so we just buried a cable in the ground in a conduit pies and
fixed everything together.
Do I have to get a specialist electrician in or a special pond
person? I don't want to find that I am outside the law when we come
to sell the house.

Also click the garden hazard link on the right of the page. I think the new
reg only apply to new installations. So I'd imagine if you just change the
pump, you will be ok legally. That's just my 'opinion'.
